u Modular design

u Robust six‑inch detector base

u Easy sensor removal for cleaning and servicing

The FAA‑325‑6 Analog Sensor Base is combined with
analog addressable sensors that use the advanced
digital communication protocol (DCP) to provide early
fire warning for life safety and property protection.

Functions

Modular Design

The sensor base is part of a two‑piece modular
designed detector assembly. The permanently
installed base provides in and out connection points
for the polling circuit.

Preservation of loop

The sensor base has a simple rugged design with
terminal screws for wiring. It preserves loop continuity
when sensors are removed.

Locking System

A simple tamper‑proof lock is enabled by removing a
small plastic tab on the back of the sensor. Once
locked, the sensor must be removed with a small
screw driver.

u Stable mounting of sensors

u Terminal screws for remote LED, Data In and Out
